Our stay was great! Little hiccup because of the dredging on the coastline but the extra beach items in the closet were a major plus. The AC worked awesome and the hot water never ran out! Would definitely rent again!

The home was beautiful, plenty of room for the eight of us and well maintained. The location access to the beach was great and we enjoyed the pool. Beach gear was a plus since we couldn’t bring our own with us.

Wonderful town home on the beach- only critique would be providing a little more trash bags/ toilet paper for a large busy family.Bedding was amazing and comfortable. Everything was clean, kitchen fully stocked with appliances and dishes. Beautiful location- 2 minute walk to white sands and dolphins in the ocean. We would absolutely stay again.

This was a well thought out beach house. There were tons of dishes, pots, pans, etc. There were 2 crockpots, a blender, 2 types of coffee makers. This was perfect for making anything you needed or wanted. I packed my own hair dryer but they did have one in the master bathroom. The shed had tons of floats and 2 or 3 tennis rackets. Tons of electrical outlets. It was a close walk to the beach and pool and courts. Everything was great!

I am not one to normally leave reviews, but I wanted to in this instance because this property was a 10 out of 10. Such a nice, clean and roomy townhome. This place literally has everything you need and then some. What I was most impressed with was the beach accessory closet. I can’t think of anything that we needed or desired that wasn’t available. Also, the air conditioner worked really really well which is always a concern for me. I strongly recommend this place and we will very likely be back at South Bay number 78 again.
